What first pulled me into this reference photo was the lighting — especially the way the shadows revealed beautiful violets, greens, warm ochres, and hints of pink. I love exploring all those quiet colors hiding inside darker areas. That’s the kind of thing that immediately makes me want to paint something.
I was also drawn to the direct, very cat-like stare.
I focused on soft transitions, visible brushwork, and building richness through layered color and temperature shifts. Up close, the surface has a lot of texture and movement that I hoped would give the portrait a little more life and presence.

I can’t believe I never posted this kitty from 50+ paintings ago! It sold today on Etsy along with another little painting. Particularly happy for this one, because it had a bit of a difficult start in life that involved a couple of repainting sessions and a collector who changed their mind after purchase 🥹
Sending it to a loving home tomorrow is definitely an occasion for a little celebration!

I really enjoy doing close-up compositions like this one, so you can almost hear the purring!
I am happy to use the “excuse” of grey fur to explore exciting shifts in color - one of the reasons why I love painting in the first place. It’s fun to experiment with muted lavenders, blue-greens, smoky browns, and see what sticks. Little shifts in temperature always help create more vibrancy! And on a bigger scale, of course the warm contrast of the background plays nicely against the cool tones in the face.
Hope it makes someone’s day better today!

Thank you so much for all your support - this page is thriving only because I have such a wonderful appreciative audience! It means so much to me to be able to paint what I love and share my work here. I am well aware of what’s been happening in the world and even in our backyards, and it’s been increasingly hard to stay sane and even just tentatively hopeful. I don’t know if painting cats is the best solution in the world right now, but I keep at it. Sending you all love and healing, whatever you need it for in your life.
😻😻😻
This little oil painting was all about softness, warmth, and texture. I love it when brushstrokes come out visible, almost tactile. Hoghair brushes are great for that!
This pose called out to me for the alertness of the kitty’s eyes, I wanted to able to capture this quiet little pulse of life in the painting.

Fresh off the easel😻I decided to paint another variation of a recently sold painting, a different pose but similar color palette. Siamese cats are just made for paint! 🎨 Their fur is never simply “brown” or “black” — there are violets, reds, deep blues, warm creams everywhere — and their eyes always seem to light up the whole painting on their own.
Hope it wins someone’s heart! 😻

I painted this cutie (inspired by irresistible Bonbon )a few times already, she’s got her own Instagram page and her human fills it with awesome photos!
I love painting black cats for the depth of the darks, letting subtle shifts of violet, umber, and blue create vibrancy. The eyes are the focal point here and carry the whole personality - their electric yellow-green looks like it is almost lit from within.
I wanted to take progress pics but after a few initial shots I got so involved with the painting that I completely forgot to continue documenting the process 🫢😅

I am so happy to share this little painting of pure, unapologetic coziness😻.
This little sleepy face completely disarmed me — eyes half closed, that soft, squishy muzzle - it makes you wish to slow down whether you planned to or not!
I enjoyed working with the palette of warm ochres and honeyed oranges to render the form, while cooler violets and soft blues sneak into the shadows to keep it vibrant. I picked a cool background to make the warmth of the cat glow.
In this particular painting, I think the boopable nose is doing more heavy lifting than the eyes 😅.

I enjoyed painting this gorgeous Siamese kitty so much.
There is something immensely satisfying about paintjng a face that’s made of such harmonious colors: soft cream fur melting into those deep, velvety browns, held together by that almost inky mask.
I loved exploring all these delightful color contrasts and varieties of temperature here, letting the darks stay rich, leaving some areas slightly transparent, so they stay vibrant and breathe.
😻😻😻

It made me want to show you how it all began back in 2014 with my first pen sketch and where it’s taken me.
This is what 12 years of pet portraits look like!
On the bright side, a complimentary frame is available upon request with a custom portrait, I do free shipping and I will be happy to give a $25 discount for 2 and more portraits (per painting)!
I will honor the 2025 prices for the commissions I have already committed to, or orders placed before Jan 1 2026!
